Best Answer

Italian Fascism did not share the Nazi preoccupation with the Jews and from 1922-1938 the Jews were not subject to any specific disabilities in Italy. From 1938, however, Mussolini felt under some obligation to imitate Nai Germany and Jews were banned from working in the public sector.

Many of the Jewish European population were well off or at least able to live fairly comfortably. There were very rich Jews too because they owned banks, large businesses and were well invested in stocks and other investments. The majority of the Jews were middle class and had a lot of small businesses or professional careers.

The professional careers included teachers, engineers, scientists, physicians, artists, performers, nurses, and symphonic musicians.

The most wealthy tried to escape the tyranny of Adolf Hitler because they had the means to escape but some were killed trying to escape.

What was life like before Hitler killed the Jews?

Well, it depends. For a while, all of the Jewish people had their rights stripped away for a few years before they started being murdered. (Well, a few years before they started to be exterminated). But before Hitler started his power campaign, life for the Jews was the same as everyone else's. Happy or sad.


What is the fascist Italy's culture?

Fascist Italy is what Italy was called before and during the time of World War 2. The fascist movement in Italy was led by Benito Mussolini, who promised to rebuild Italy after the first World War. Certain characteristics of fascism was presented here in Italy, such as no equal rights, complete control of propaganda, and basically a "Do what we tell you or else," kind of government. Fascism is very close to the same as communism, which is where Adolf Hitler comes in. Hitler actually got his ideals from Italy and Mussolini.


What was a typical Jewish person's life before the Nazi's invasion?

Life for the Jews before the Nazis took over the government was fairly nice. There was no bad Hitler and no bad Nazis. Hitler and the Nazis were liked within Germany before they took over. The Jews around the world were unaware of all the fortunes that awaited them before Hitler became racist and became a horrible dictator with the Nazis on his side. The Jews before, lived a happy, normal life, where there was no racism going around for their religion. The Jews were happy before any that could be found (unlike Anne Frank for a while) were sent to concentration camps, were there were many ways to be killed. Gassed with Zyklon B or C, burnt, shot, and much more terrible ways! Before the Nazis, Hitler and the racism, the Jews were happy and normal and just ordinary people that fit in everywhere, that were not treated like outsiders.


What was life for Jewish people before the holocaust?

Before the Holocaust, Jews faced persecution in much of the world, just not as bad as the Nazi persecution. Persecution was intense in Russia (both under the Tzars and the Communists). In Western Europe and the United States, Jews enjoyed relatively civil treatment, with many of the rights of citizenship, although there was still considerable legal discrimination against Jews even in the United States. Jews in Arab lands had second-class citizenship, although sometimes this allowed a comfortable existence comparable to that of European Jews. 200 years before the Holocaust, the Spanish Inquisition was still actively persecuting crypto-Jews, sometimes burning them at the stake, and Jews had no secure rights of citizenship in any country.
